The 1-hour to daily range is best for Marubozu candles, with 4-hour and daily timeframes producing the most reliable signals. All timeframes work, but 1H to daily charts provide an optimal balance of frequency and reliability for most trading strategies.
Daily and 4-hour charts produce the most actionable marubozu signals, while on lower timeframes like 5-minute charts the pattern is too common and carries less significance; weekly marubozu candles are rare but extremely powerful when they appear.
Marubozu patterns have a 65-75% success rate when properly identified with volume confirmation and appropriate market context.
